Answer:

14 did not finish under 4 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

Total number of competitors = 35

% who finish under 4 hours = 60%

Formula

Those who did not = 35 - 60%*35

Solution

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35 * 60%

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 35*60/100 = 2100/100

Those who did finish under 4 hours = 21

Those who did not = 35 - 35*60/100

Those who did not = 35 - 21

Those who did not = 14

====================

There is another way to do this. Realize that 40% did not finish the race in under 4 hours.

Those who did not finish in under 4 hours = 35*40/100 = 1400 / 100 = 14

Ali, Ben, and Cliff plant seedlings in their neighborhood park. Ali plants 40% of the total number of seedlings, Ben plants 45%
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

580 seedlings altogether.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Ali plants 40% of the total number of seedlings, Ben plants 45% of the total number of seedlings, and Cliff plants the rest of the seedlings. Cliff plants 87 seedlings.

The percentage of the seedling planted by Cliff = 100% - 45% - 40% = 15%

<em>Let x = the total number of seedlings</em>

<em />15\%\ of\ x=87\\\\x=\dfrac{87\times 100}{15}\\\\x=580

Hence, three boys plant 580 seedlings altogether.

What is the equation for a circle with a center at (-2,-4) that passes through the point (3,8)?
Margarita [4]
Check the picture below.

so, the center of the circle is the midpoint of that diametrical segment, and half that length is the radius.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{middle point of 2 points }&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ -2 &,& -4~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 3 &,& 8~)&#10;\end{array}\qquad&#10;%   coordinates of midpoint &#10;\left(\cfrac{ x_2 +  x_1}{2}\quad ,\quad \cfrac{ y_2 +  y_1}{2} \right)&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\left( \cfrac{3-2}{2}~~,~~\cfrac{8-4}{2} \right)\implies \left( \frac{1}{2}~,~2 \right)\impliedby center

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points}&#10;\\\\&#10;\begin{array}{ccccccccc}&#10;&&x_1&&y_1&&x_2&&y_2\\&#10;%  (a,b)&#10;&&(~ -2 &,& -4~) &#10;%  (c,d)&#10;&&(~ 3 &,& 8~)&#10;\end{array}~~~ &#10;%  distance value&#10;d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{[3-(-2)]^2+[8-(-4)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(3+2)^2+(8+4)^2}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;d=\sqrt{25+144}\implies d=\sqrt{169}\implies d=13\qquad\qquad \qquad  \stackrel{radius}{\frac{13}{2}}

\bf \textit{equation of a circle}\\\\ &#10;(x- h)^2+(y- k)^2= r^2&#10;\qquad &#10;center~~(\stackrel{\frac{1}{2}}{ h},\stackrel{2}{ k})\qquad \qquad &#10;radius=\stackrel{\frac{13}{2}}{ r}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)^2+(y-2)^2=\left( \frac{13}{2} \right)^2\implies \left( x-\frac{1}{2} \right)^2+(y-2)^2=\frac{169}{4}
